Ujung Village, Karangasem, Karangasem Regency, Bali.
Built in 1909 by I Gusti Bagus Jelantik, the predecessor of the King of Karangasem who built Tirta Gangga, Taman Ujung is another water palace that boasts beautiful flowing pools and fountains. Unlike its more lavish counterpart, Taman Ujung is smaller and has not been restored to its glory after the 1963 eruption of Mount Agung and an earthquake in 1979, which caused extensive damages. That said, Taman Ujung is still a charming attraction and very much worth a visit.
This water palace was built for the king to welcome important guests and kings of other kingdoms as well as a place of recreation for the king and royal family. A long concrete bridge connects the parking area and the palace area. At the end of the bridge is a vast garden. On the north side there is a small white square building in the middle of the main pond connected by two bridges on its left and right. Next to the main pond, there is another pond with a bale, a traditional Balinese open air building, in the middle of it. Taman Ujung complex combines Balinese and European architectural features. On the top of a hill there is a dilapidated building that looks like a chapel but has Balinese style engraving on its wall. On the other side, there is a huge statue of a rhinoceros and a bull below it. From this spot you can enjoy a view of the shimmering blue ocean, lush green forest and of course the mighty Mount Agung that dominates the sky.
